So What Do You Think of the Ferrari California?

Editor-in-Chief

Our buddies at Road & Track sent me this funky photo of the new Ferrari California (what’s with the weird building in the background?). And Jalopnik has a video of the convertible hardtop in action. It’s hard to not like a Ferrari, but this one leaves me feeling kind of cold. I was hoping Ferrari would come out with a modern and quasi-affordable version of the 246 Dino. Instead we get an Italian Corvette, priced about the same as the F430. So why not just get a F430? Is this car for the boulevard cruising crowd? More pics and a full story at Road & Track.

I like this cars looks, I personally think the F430 looks horrible in the front.

It looks like an over priced corvette with slight modifications to exterior styling

C’mon guys. Wrongful observations have been made about guys & sports cars. Please don’t add to the myth.

Eric, It was an attempt at humor! AND everyone is entitled to thier opinion. Winning or losing, I’ve only meet one Ferrari on the road, and he didn’t want to play. But, this blog is about the California.
I am not up to speed on the ins and outs of it, but as for looks, it is OK.

I dont know I looked at your CHARGER, and its no SRT8 so I would put money on that FERRARI plus its hotter looking Im partial to it regardless but I love the styling ideas and the feeling you get cruising such a breed of vehicle!

It looks edible, and my HEMI is hungry. It looks OK for a Ferrari.
